Ah, yes! the neck muscles! 'Tis why I don't go to the proms in the park. Good to see your pics, but I think I should not like it.

lol, andrea, sometimes she calls skyscrapers in my shots "ghastly"...I always say a prayer for Andrea when I post huge city-scapes, that she should survive the experience...But alan, this is a wonderful treatment. The fish-eye actually makes it look like a plate or a brooch or something of a keepsake. It fits the area, because Times Square truly is a visual barrage, ie fascinating, crass, beautiful, ugly, almost like a crazy video game. In your capture, it crams together like a vision in a crystal ball ("yoo will meet a talllll dark stranger..."). I love it. I don't know what TSquare is like today, but I know that for many years it was a seedy place, even though it was near some major literary and journalistic places. (It was named after the NY Times, as you probably know, in the early 20th C, as they moved their offices to that area). Maybe today it's a big tourist trap. But I love what you did with it, making it like a big toy, or a small brooch to wear around our necks. Lots of fun, and a really nice layout. I love it.

Nice fish eye shot & a clever way to capture the "assault on the senses" you mentioned...

I had the same feeling when I wandered through Piccadilly and the section of mega-stores. I do like the fish-eye effect!
